Colby
\nCovington<\/a> is willing to settle the bad blood with Bo Nickal<\/a>
\ninside the Octagon.<\/p>\n

Nickal has been calling out Covington for over a year, either for a
\n
\nUFC<\/a> fight or a wrestling match at RAF. Covington recently
\naccepted the callout while going on a rant about Nickal. \u201cChaos\u201d
\nslammed Nickal for pulling out of a RAF 5 booking against Yoel Romero<\/a>
\nafter Romero missed weight. Considering Nickal is particular about
\nweight classes, Covington wants the middleweight wrestler to drop
\nto welterweight to fight him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know you\u2019re a big fan of weight classes and refused to fight a
\nman that was six pounds too heavy\u2026 I propose we do this in a weight
\nclass where one of us is ranked and has actual stakes,\u201d Covington
\nsaid on YouTube<\/a>. \u201cSo how about bring that stupid ginger
\nbowl cut down to 170, and I\u2019ll grant your wish to fight the biggest
\nname in the welterweight division.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being an avid supporter of Donald Trump, Covington is not a
\npart of the
\nUFC White House<\/a> card. Meanwhile, Nickal will take on Kyle
\nDaukaus<\/a> at the White House on June 14. Covington says Daukaus
\nhas earned his spot on the card with hard work, unlike Nickal.
\n\u201cChaos\u201d predicts that Daukaus will make Nickal quit as Reinier
\nde Ridder<\/a> did.<\/p>\n

‘You\u2019re a Spoiled Brat’<\/h2>\n

\u201cBut let\u2019s make one thing crystal clear. I\u2019m not gonna take away an
\nopportunity from someone who, unlike you, has done things the hard
\nway to earn a spot on a big card like Kyle
\nDaukaus<\/a>,\u201d Covington said. \u201cHe\u2019s 10 times the man and fighter
\nyou ever could be. You\u2019re just a competitor, bozo, you\u2019re not a
\nfighter. You\u2019ve had everything fed to you on a silver spoon. Nobody
\nlikes you because you\u2019re a spoiled brat. And nobody respects you
\nbecause you\u2019re a quitter. We all watched the real bozo come out on
\na stool against the Dutch grappler. Daukaus will bring the same
\nquitter out of you on the White House lawn. I don\u2019t need to fight
\nyou. You need to fight me because I violated you via truth bombs
\nright to your face at the RAF press conference.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nickal (8-1) suffered his lone professional loss against De Ridder
\nlast year. The former three-time NCAA Division 1 champion has since
\nrebounded with a stoppage win over Rodolfo
\nVieira<\/a>. Meanwhile, Covington (17-5) hasn\u2019t fought in the UFC
\nsince a stoppage loss against Joaquin
\nBuckley<\/a> in December 2024.  <\/p>\n
